LPM: A Call To Greatness

[Ronald Edward Petty]

If you didn't get this please read it.  I believe we need to attend some
of these events...  Ill be talking to Pres. Wethington in a coupld of
weeks with a semi formal proposal on how to make
student/indusrty/uk/kentucky technology stronger.  If you would like to
help me with this, Ill be setting a time beginning of next week to have a
meeting, if not we can meet before and after.

    On Thursday, we will begin celebrating the launch of our first
comprehensive fund-raising campaign titled "A Call To Greatness."  The
largest effort of its kind in the state's history, this campaign will
generate many of the resources UK needs to become the top-20 public
institution to which we aspire.

    In recognition of the heart and soul of this campaign, we begin our
kick-off festivities with a picnic celebration for the University family-all
faculty, staff and students.  On Friday, take advantage of some 100 academic
showcases that offer a glimpse of your University at work.

    As we unite like never before in pursuit of greatness, I invite your
participation in celebrating this extraordinary occasion at UK.  Please,
join us.
